1. You have mountains to look at all day long.

There is something so comforting being surrounded by the mountains. And it is first thing I tell people when they ask what I love about Reno.

2. There are cute coffee shops everywhere you go.

Bibo, Hub Coffee Roasters, The Purple Bean, Homage, and Global Coffee are just a few of the many coffee shops that each offer a unique vibe to customers, and are a contributing factor to why Reno is so great.

3. Tahoe is less than an hour away.

Doesn't matter the time of year, Tahoe is always a good idea. Luckily when you live in Reno it's an easy day trip to take and a nice getaway from reality. Nothing beats killer views, the lake, trees, and mountains.

4. The views that overlook the city are incredible.

There are of course, particular spots that you can go to to overlook the city, but there is the other chance that you may be coming downhill on a road that lets you enjoy view as well--which are the best!

5. You get all four seasons.

All four seasons happen in a year. But with Reno, they could also happen in a day. Everyone who lives in Reno knows how iffy the weather can be, but besides that, it's nice that we get summer, winter, fall, and spring in full effect.

6. The community is greatly involved with UNR.

Whether it's social events or sporting events, Reno community members join in on the fun making the atmosphere a lot more energetic and alive.

7. Midtown is becoming better and better.

Midtown Reno has plans to add a bunch of new additions, but for now it has boutiques, restaurants, and other small businesses that get people out and about to try something new!

8. Majority of the people are down to earth--I dig that.

It is on rare occasion that I ever stumble upon people who seem superficial in Reno, and it is one thing I'm most appreciative of. The people are overall, genuine and I love living in a city full of people who emulate qualities that I admire.
